Dont take this the worng way, skaters, but this idea is whats wrong with this country, wasting tax payers money on near sighted projects when there are thousands of people in this area unemployed. When we have people back in work and the town in a fit state, then we add the finishing touches and then yes a skate park would be a welcome addition to the towns recreational areas.

I hope this decision is over turned as soon as possible.

This town is in dire need of infrastructural upgrades, to drag us into the 21st centuary, oh wait that was ten years ago.

Open your eyes to the bigger picture people!

Again this is just headline grabbing flash in the pan politics which is what is typically wrong with this country.
